Hello. I have an asrock z77 extreme3 motherboard. I recently installed it and until recently it was doing fine. After I installed and aftermarket CPU cooler and a sandisk 128 gb extreme ii ssd, the bios stopped working. To clarify, the computer still boots up and works fine, but when I press f2 to access the bios functions, the damn thing freezes and some static bar appears at the top of the monitor.
Possibly noteworthy?
I taped the SSD into the drive bay because I'm lazy (cannot see this being a problem)
My optical drive seems not to be working, though it should be plugged in
I once pressed the power button on the computer while the 24 pin connector was unplugged.
I may have handled the mobo a little roughly while I was installing that cooler, but I didn't see any damage. It wasn't that rough. Although I did press the bottom of it with my hands pretty hard.
